These are my goals for 2012.Health:1H) Aim to get back to my pre-preg day’s weight.

Financial:Goals to work on once I join back my job1F) I want to bring our mortgage to such an extent where my house can service itself.2F) Maintain my EF as 3 months of expenses.3F) If I can save for retirement as much as I did in 2010, that will be a good punch to future expenses.Newly Added(missed in setting goals but was always there in my mind)Goals to work on till I am on leave (unpaid and would be bonus if can be continued even when I join back)4F) Manage our all monthly expenses within my DH's salary.

Personal :1P) To start the habit of getting up at 6:00 in the morning.2P) I think one of the most vague yet most important goals is to maintain a WORK-LIFE balance once I join back my job.

It's April end and let's see how am I fairing in these goals.

Over to tracking now:

Goal 1H - Bringing my weight and stamina to pre-preg days - FAIL. I went to GYM for only 4 days. I am still maintaining (very) active lifestyle but I know to get back in shape I need to exercise more. :(

Goal 1F -Bringing down mortgage - NA Yet. No more applicable actually as must have been clear from my last month's update.Goal 2F -Having EF as 3 months of living Expenses - FAIL. For now this is almost depleted. Have to bring it back.Goal 3F -Save for Retirement - PASS. Goal 4F -Survive on DH's salary alone- PASS. Finally.Goal 1P- Getting up early -PASS. I got up between 7:00 AM to 7:30 AM almost all weekdays.Goal 2P- Having a balanced life -PASS.
